All his students, including myself, were always engaged in his lectures. I personally looked forward to each and every single one of his lectures in my timetable. Some other lecturers were so boring I'd end up falling asleep if I let it happen.

    Gaining 10 pounds of muscle mass requires an approximate caloric surplus of 35,000 to 40,000 calories, given that 1 pound of muscle is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories. In a 2-hour period (length of the video), this would mean an energy expenditure of around 20,000 calories per hour, 40k cal in total. If you weigh 70kg, you'll have to do 200 hours of continuous, intense pushups to reach a total energy expenditure of 40,000 calories.

    The thing Dr. Mike did excellent here, even better than in their own channel, is adding nuance to everything. He made sure to specify which things are the fundamentals/major building blocks. And that the other things are also important, but in the grand scheme of things they are minute details. This is a crucial aspect missing in much of the fitness content, the explanation of how much difference a variable makes (ideally in percentages) for hypertrophy. And that’s a bad thing because, the explanation of how much difference a variable makes provides beginners with a clear overview of where to focus their efforts initially and what to perfect later, avoiding overwhelm. To put it simply, imagine studying for an exam where 90% of the questions come from chapter 1 and only 10% from chapter 2. Naturally, you’d make sure to spend all the time needed mastering chapter 1. And then after, if you still have time left, you spend the remaining time studying chapter 2. Without this information, you might divide your time equally between both chapters, which would be a mistake if you knew the importance of each chapter’s content.

    All hail short king, Dr. Mike. 👑 One of few things I am grateful for this platform (I mean KZread) is that I discovered Dr. Mike trough it. I started introducing his training advice into my gym routine. Then started sharing this info with my boyfriend, lifting technics, deloads, periodization etc. At first my bf was like, blah blah blah, whatever you say. I just kept doing my shit in the gym. One day I showed him one of Mike's videos where he criticized some Hollywood training scenes 😅. And since that video my bf started listening to his advice, watches his content and we lift together 3-4 times a week now 😊 Thank you Dr. Mik from a fellow russian.

    This was ridiculously good and informative. Now that I'm 62 years old, I've had to dial back on the total number of sets per week, and can't go real heavy; I keep my reps to15 for my warmup, then a weight that lets me rep out around 10-12 reps about 2 reps from failure, then add weight and try for 3-4 more sets at 8-10 reps, 6-8 reps, then whatever I can pump out for the final set to failure (usually 4-6 reps.) At this age, injury avoidance is the absolute number one goal; if I'm injured, it takes a LOT longer to recover, so controlled, smooth reps, with fairly slow eccentric motions to finish. This was an really great, science and evidence based conversation, this is one of your best.

I can't believe 5-8 sets per muscle group is enough when you do it the right way. Basically most of my volume has been junk just like my diet the past two months. I was doing too much trying to rush the process and ended up getting a herniated disc, was sidelined since early December and reverted back to comfort food and booze. .But it's gametime now. No excuses just consistency. Thanks again x1000. this is one of my favorite episodes yet and you both deserve the monumental success you've achieved.
